Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
October 9, 1996    St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA
 
Dear Children, Praised be Jesus!
 
Thank you, my little ones, for having accepted my invitation of this night.
Thank you, my little ones, for the love you have shown me by your actions,
your songs and your prayers. I come this night to give you my motherly
blessing and to pour many graces. I come this night to answer many petitions.
Many sick will be healed of body and soul.
 
I desire from you much prayer, penance amid fasting. Pray, pray, pray. I come
to cover under my mantle this, my beloved parish. I come to bless this
country and your lands which saw you be born. I come to thank you for your
prayers, for your obedience in accepting my petitions for prayer, penance and
fasting. I greatly bless this parish in a special way - for your prayers in
union with mine have made one of my intentions be realized. My Son is happy
and grateful and He has fixed His eyes upon His beloved Church and its
faithful.
 
My little ones, do not flee from the crosses which God may give you. You can
not have glory without crosses, without sufferings. The crosses which God
gives you are graces - united to your Creator they glorify and honor Him. Do
not renounce the crosses which God places in your lives, since they are
graces from the Almighty. If you only knew how to accept them with courage,
humility and love, you would know the happiness and joy which those crosses
signify for humanity.
 
Glorify God by means of your sufferings. Obtain the joy of God by means of
these graces. God will not give you more than you can carry. Ask me, my
little ones. I, the Mother of Consolation and Graces, will give you my help
and my love and peace to be able to carry and accept those crosses - which 
are like crowns of laurels.
 
Meditate on the Holy Cross. Meditate, in that moment of suffering on the
passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, my children, how much do I
love you. How much do I love you. I bless your rosaries this night with my
motherly blessing. I fill you with many graces in your hearts and I will
always accompany you in your hearts. Do not feel alone. I am and will always
be with you. Remember that you are my beloved children.
 
I bless my beloved priests this night. I leave each one of them inside my
Immaculate Heart. May the peace of God Almighty be always with you. In the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
